as long as each piece of patatoe has an "eye" it will grow
potatoes arent usually grown from seed but from potato cuttings.
They should be fine for seed use as long as the "eyes" still appear to be trying to sprout and the rest of the potato is still relatively firm. To make sure, just take a few seed pieces, cut them in half, and place the eye end up in a shallow pan of water in a warm, sunny location. They should start growing sprouts in less than a week.
I would use 40 pounds and cook them cut in halves in 2-3 large pots
Potatoes are tubers. Each have "eyes". If you cut the tuber up so that each segment has an eye and plant it, a new plant will grow with several tubers growing underground. "Seed" potatoes have many eyes on the tuber.
its how many kids your going to have.....
Potatoes have "eyes" that produce new potatoes. The person growing them cut the potato with the eye and plant them.
yes, when I used to grow potatoes in my garden, I would just quarter a potato and plant the pieces. Certainly. Potatoes are often 'seeded' with a potato that has eyes growing that is cut up and planted rather than starting them from seed.
what's in frozen potatoes
The answer depends on the piece of paper. You can cut it in half lengthways: it will still be a piece of paper but its width will be half as large!
If you want to plant potatoes, you would not want "seed" you would want seed potatoes. If you look at a potato , you will see what are called eyes, which are actually sprouts. Cut the potato into 1/4 sections, having several eyes on each section. Plant this and with ample moisture, it will sprout. Plant approx. 3" deep. If you leave one in the bag, too long, it can also sprout, but will not make potatoes. potatoes are a tuber, and new potatoes will form on the root system in the ground. ( nodules)
